Pros

Work-life balance, pay, co workers

Cons

Too many managers just want to manage but never integrate with staff members to experience what the staff does. Management is really disconnected. Unit supervisors are in their offices in meetings and never even give a lunch or break when the staff is dying because there is no staff. Management has no clue and it would really improve their skill set to show support instead of sitting at their desk. The assignment is biased and unfair, the same people do the same thing all the time, the travelers that are paid a lot more are in the hall floating, and the regular staff is in the O R working hard.

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits that come with the job such as health insurance. I worked with not all but some amazing sweet nurses. I will say that working for INOVA has definitely helped me when it came to future job/school opportunities. I worked as a clinical tech for about 8 months and I was able to get accepted into Nursing school on the first go, and I really believe having that experience and background helped me get into nursing school. This is a great jump start for future careers.

Cons

Overworked, not enough clinical techs on the floor. Demanding job, and I only got a raise of a couple of cents higher every like 4 to 5 months. The raises were a joke. Plus, some of the nurses I worked with were catty. Don't expect to get paid well, but it does have its benefits.
